What makes a Quality Home Tutor?
I would like to share my point of view in qualifying a quality home tutor. In my interactions with parents, students and tutors, I have gained insights into the realm of home tuition and its mechanics.
Home tuition tends to cost more than group tuition, hence there is more unscrutinizing in private tutors. As home tutors are giving one-to-one assistance to students, their teachings are more focused onto the students' minds and there is also the transfer of values and habits subconsciously.
To me, a Quality Home Tutor must be one that is able to establish rapport with the student. This means being able to connect and speak in the same language. Once the tutor and the student can connect to each other, there will be effective communication and effective impartation of useful knowledge.
The Quality Home Tutor must also be a strong motivator. In most cases, students need home tuition because they are not faring well in the subjects they sought tuition assistance for. In group tuition, these students might face stress from the good performance rest of the students. This might lead to students wanting to give up on themselves. In home tuition, the tutor's role as a motivator comes in. There will be moments when the student will not understand the topic and start to shift his mind away. The tutor should set in and encourage him and push him on. Maintaining a positive healthy mindset is crucial to a child's performance in school.
The Tutor should be one that has passion in teaching and has a desire to help students soar in their grades. He should not see tutoring as a job. With these criteria met, he would be willing to stay behind after the tuition lesson and update the parents and student on the academic progress of the student. He should take the proactive approach to do this form of updating. With proper tracking of progress, the tutor can then be more certain on his teaching style and pace.
To sum up my views, a Quality Home Tutor isn't just one that is an expert on his field of teaching, but more importantly, it is the method of his sharing of knowledge that determines the quality factor.
